Oh Dawn, this bag is most beautiful and your friend is really blessed for having your friendship, for giving handmade gifts with all your heart. I love your colour combination a lot, I would have never thought that rust could look so very good, but the combination with your blue flower makes it sing. What a joy it then must be for your friend to look inside the bag, to see this pretty fabric which gives an extra bonus. Happy, happy friend!

Dawn, I have been trying to track down this pattern since first seeing your post a few years ago. I was able to find a booklet for purchase and it's from Annie's and is called Pretty Purses Shoulder Sling #2693. This is one of the most lovely purses I have ever seen! :)
